When to use it
Any consultant, agency, course creator, freelancer, or founder choosing a market.
When NOT to use it
Don't niche before validating demand — niche into a market that's already hiring.
How to use it
- Pick a niche: industry + role + outcome (e.g., 'SEO for SaaS founders').
- Identify the unique perspective only you can credibly hold.
- Build content that proves the perspective every week.
- Re-test the niche after 90 days — too narrow or too broad?
Examples
Tight niche
Amanda Natividad: 'Zero-Click Content' — owns a single phrase in the marketing space.
Too broad
'Marketing consultant' — no one searches for that, no one remembers it.
